Reversing the Clock: NAD+ Supplementation and Groundbreaking Gene Therapy to Combat Aging

1 April, 20231 April, 2023 Shannon 0 Comments

Reading Time: 4 minutes Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) are precursors to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular aging. Dr. David Sinclair’s research focuses on boosting NAD+ levels to promote healthy aging and potentially extend lifespan. Sinclair’s recent study demonstrated reversing aging effects in mice using gene therapy. Combining this with NAD+ supplementation could enhance the effects of gene therapy, but more research is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety in humans. Foods like dairy products, fish, lean meats, whole grains, and legumes can help support NAD+ production in the body.
